Re// I do plan on giving more information, but they're new for me. But the males have no metal, I just wanted a dragon species based off the infamous hydra and I wanted them to split. If you watch the playback on the first it took some experimenting to get them right and I never planned on making them a species, it was simply for a DT.
Oh I don't think anyone will think either of us are copying another, if someone accuses you, you can come to me and we can sort this out, I was unaware we had similar species, Shadow Pikaboo was the one who recommended the stripes/spots.

I understand your paranoia, but I got your back if anyone attacks you.
